Approximately 15 ninth grade students from the RKYHS AIPAC group met privately for a special briefing with Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Hoenlein is one of the most distinguished American Jewish leaders of today. The students discussed a whole host of issues ranging from Iran, anti-Semitism, BDS, the state of U.S./Israel relations and more, and posed many questions to Hoenlein as well. They all came away with a much greater awareness and understanding of the issues of the day confronting Israel and the Jewish people.
